The Jack Benny program. Hey, there, forever. Lucky Strike means fine tobacco, so round, so firm, so fully packed, so free and easy on the draw. LS, MFT, LS, MFT, LS, MFT, your brother. You said it. Lucky Strike means fine tobacco, so round, so firm, so fully packed, so free and easy on the draw.

Always those words will mean much to you. For quality is always your first concern. And lucky strike quality remains steadfast. Today is always. Lucky strike selects and buys the finer, the lighter, the naturally milder, lucky strike tobacco.

That's why lucky strike means fine tobacco. Yes, lucky strike means fine tobacco. Yes, Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. From the airfield of Murak Dry Lake, a fourth air force base, we bring you the Lucky Strike program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris Rochester, and yours truly, Don Wilson.

I've got friends, brother. I've got friends. Anyway, down here we are at the Army Airfield at Murock, and I've got an idea. These boys want real impromptu entertainment, so let's forget the script and give them an informal show.
